Muscari Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio (red wine)
Muscari Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio (red wine)
The roots of the vines that climb the slopes of the Vesuvius, sink away in the dark and porous sink. This soil does not have to be watered because it retains moisture and then releases it again. The vines have been here since the fifth century BC, brought here by the Greeks and stand out directly from the Aminei of Thessalia. The vines, most of which are not grafted, grow in the foothills up to 400 meters and derive minerals and their strength from the volcanic soil. The history of the Vesuvius Lacryma Christi is a story of myth and reality, legend and popular beliefs, creating a special mystery around this famous wine. According to one of this legend, Lucifer, driven from Paradise, has torn a piece of paradise to steal it and bring it to the Gulf of Naples on earth. Where he sank, the Vesuvius was born. Jesus Christ, who discovered the theft, cried with sorrow and from his tears, who fell right to Vesuvius, a vine plant was born and the most famous wine of the Vesuvius was born from the grape of that grape: Lacryma Christi. The "Crater Lacryma Christi" wine is aged in wooden barrels, usually a mix of new and used wood.
